THE
AIMS, POTENTIAL BENEFITS/ADVANTAGES,
AND THE VALUE OF DICTOGLOSS
Related
to Jason 2007, there are some aims, potential benefits, and the values
of Dictogloss.
They are as follows:
a. The
aims
The
aim for the students is not to create an exact copy of the original but a text
which has the same content as the original and is grammatically and lexically
accurate. Other aims are the first is to provide an opportunity for learners to
use their productive grammar in the task of text creation.
b. Potential
benefits of Dictogloss
1. Dictogloss
creates a genuine need for communication (to pool information, negotiate and
complete the task) as there is an information gap.
2. It
fosters group responsibility and takes pressure away from individual students.
3. It
helps to find a compromise between what students think they need (which might
not be grammar at all but maybe text organization or lexis) and what teachers
think. The needs become obvious when analyzing the texts.
4. It
makes the students more communicative and also generally wants to be corrected;
here it is done in a sensible way.
5. The
reconstructed texts allows students to discuss their interpretation of which
grammar is most appropriate so that the text they produce is as close as possible
in meaning, content and function to the original version. If it is a review of
a structure, it is interesting to see whether students can identify it when
listening and then reapply in the reconstruction.
c.
The Value of Dictogloss.
Dictogloss
has been the subject of numerous studies and commentaries, which have largely
supported use of the technique. Students are encouraged to focus their
attention on form and meaning and all four language skills are practiced. The
first, listening (to the teacher during dictation, to peers when discussing the
reconstruction. The second, speaking (to peers during the reconstruction. The
third, reading (notes taken while listening to the teacher, the group’s
reconstruction, and the original text), and the fourth, writing (writing the
reconstruction).
